Firefighters from Negley, East Palestine and New Waterford worked to keep the blaze from spreading to the adjacent structures at 46168 Clarkson Road in Rogers. The old house, reportedly over 200 years old, was already on the ground when firefighters responded at about 2 a.m. Wednesday, but did what they could to contain the damage.

A distraught Katherine Brown watches the irreplaceable photographs of her mother and grandmother burn in a fire that struck the old house she recently purchased and was remodeling. Brown was asleep in the trailer next to the house when her nephew awakened her to the fire. According to Brown, she was living in the trailer while the house — which she said was over 200 years old — was being remodeled. Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer
